GE developed ultra thin coolers who will be the future of the next generation of ultra thin laptops and tablets

GE presented the new ultra thin coolers who will be used for cooling of the devices in which the size is important, such as tablets and laptops. The technology used in the new coolers is called "Dual Piezoelectric Cooling Jets," which means that there are two parallel tiles on which piezoelectric disk are set. The tiles contract taking the air from the sides and releasing it through the center.

“DCJ was developed as an innovative way to dramatically reduce the amount of pressure losses and loading characteristics in aircraft engines and power generation in gas and wind turbines,” said Peter de Bock, lead Electronics Cooling Researcher at GE Global Research.

The new coolers will be just 4mm thin, thus they will occupy only half of the space they occupy now. This is due to the removal of the classic fan cooling system and its replacement with DCJ. This can lead to a further reduction of the thickness of the tablet and using the released space for other things.

The team that developed this coolers proposes using a few ​​coolers like this which will enable more efficient cooling. This cooling will be silent to that extent that users of laptops and tablets will not know that the cooler works.

GE has already granted a license for production of this cooling technology to Fujikura LTD, a Japanese company that is a world leader in thermal management solutions. Besides this, the company has sent prototypes to few manufacturers who could try the new ultra thin coolers in their tablets and laptops.

Want to stop losing your things? Check out this Bluetooth Stickers..

Yes, this awesome gadget exist! Group of designers has developed stickers that you can paste on your things that you usually lose and using these stickers you can track where you left them.

Stick and Find stickers are connected with an application for Smartphones. They are big like a coin and you can connect them to the phone at a distance up to 30 meters, and the battery lasts about a year. The application works like this: the screen displays the objects that are glued with stickers, how far are you from them, and in which direction you should go, and with a "double-click" on the screen you will make the stickers to emit sounds.

This idea currently raised over $ 120,000 through Indiegogo in order to realize, that is almost two times more than the projected $ 70,000. Great idea and really helpful for those who forget where they leave things.
